1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Nurses' well-being at work has become a global concern due to persistent stressors such as staff shortages, shift work, emotional demands and limited autonomy. Most existing studies take a deficit-centred perspective, focussing on burnout or work stress and ignoring the complexity of holistic well-being. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess nurses' levels of well-being at work across six well-being domains and explore its relationship with job satisfaction, health status and functional limitations. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 767 nurses working in various healthcare institutions in Slovenia. The six-dimensional well-being scale for nurses, which was translated and psychometrically validated for this study, was used to assess physical, emotional, intellectual, social, occupational and spiritual well-being. Results: The overall median score for nurses' well-being at work was 2.97 (on a scale of 1-5), slightly below the neutral midpoint ( Conclusions: Nurses' well-being at work has many facets and is influenced by personal health, job satisfaction and professional context. A holistic model can highlight strengths and weaknesses that are often overlooked in traditional, burnout-centred approaches. Implications for Nursing Management: Nurse managers should incorporate well-being into HR policy through relationship-centred leadership, flexible working practises and values-led support. Interventions should include reflective spaces, mentoring and learning opportunities tailored to emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. Monitoring dimensions of well-being as a key performance measure can lead to sustainable improvements in healthcare.
